Access: machine translated ➜

Directly, 1Km after the end of the village (place name sign) Log Pod Mangartom (coming from Predil Pass) there is a turnout with a parking place for hikers on the right side before the stone bridge. Park here.

Approach (5 min): machine translated ➜

approx. 5min From the parking lot, walk a short distance back on the road until you reach the no-driving sign. Descend directly into the stream. In a short time you will come to a weir (entry at approx. 590m).

Tour (40 min): machine translated ➜

approx. 40min After the small step at the weir and a short walking passages the canyon narrows down and you start to enjoy it... Beautiful washouts and the turquoise water in the pools are a feast for the eyes. The small steps and precipices in the gorge can normally be jumped or downclimbed (several possible jumps). Single pitons are present on some steps, however. As soon as you get going, the tour ends. At the point where the canyon opens, you can see an iron ladder on the orographic left side that leads out of the stream (sharp-edged at the top!).

Return (15 min): machine translated ➜

about 15min) From the iron ladder go in the direction of the power station houses and through the middle. Then follow the visible trail on the orographic left side of the gorge back to the parking lot.

Short but beautiful deep cut canyon. One jump and one slide, everything else swimming or walking. You have to be careful in high water or stormy weather Unfortunately illegal canyon, so you have to hide before the rangers.

Really beautiful but short, done in 20 minutes without using a rope, everything was jumping or climbing. The water is extremely cold, it's nice to have gloves and a neoprene cap.

Koritnica is a beautiful canyon in Slovenia. The canyon is cut to a depth and the rocks and water have enchanting colors. A canyoning tour here doesn't take long under professional conditions, beginners quickly get cold and may reach their limits in some places. Right at the beginning, directly at the first abseiling point, white water experience is helpful. Once you reach the bottom, you have to cross the white water to leave the pool. Not really a problem, but if in doubt, it helps if the first person has a throw bag with them. There is another very nice jump and shortly before the exit, it gets a little more technically challenging: a few meters of long shimmying using the cling and stem technique above the white water.
